Benefits of a Community Garden

Community gardens encourage participants to share in the maintenance and products of a garden in a public open space, including fresh fruits and vegetables.

Community gardens offer many physical, environmental & mental health benefits, including:

• Access to healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables at a low cost.
• Opportunities for physical activity and skill building.
• Creating green space and beautifying vacant lots.
• Reviving and beautifying public parks.
• Opportunities for skill-building and developing a rewarding hobby.
• Decreasing violence in some neighborhoods.
• Improving social well-being through strengthening social connections.
• Opportunities for stress reduction and mindfulness.
